We were born out of passion ... or rather, of various passions.
Passion for cheese.
Passion for people.
Passion for Canastra.
Passion for Brazil.
It was a farm. It was supposed to be just a haven.
But how to be here and not notice these flavors,
in these hugs, in this joy?
How to be here and not notice this nature, this centuries-old knowledge,
this craftsmanship that belongs to us so much?
And the charm grew. And we studied. And we strive.
We seek all our courage to begin this new journey.
And what a journey! Quite a walk.
It reminds us of the climbs, the trails, the adventures in the mountains.
The challenges are daily.
But they are worth every dawn spent, every fall, every tear.
Hey guys!
We're young. But we've gone far. And let's go more.
We crossed the mountain, crossed the sea and went
shine there in Europe.
In the land of the best known cheeses on the planet!
We're young. We are tradition.
We're young. We are cheesemakers.
We're young. We are canastros.
We are Brazil. We are culture. We are flavor.
We are Vale da Gurita Cheese Shop.
Awards
Fazenda Morada da Prata has stood out in the main Brazilian competitions.
In 2017, we won 3rd place in the Alta Mogiana Specialty Coffee Contest, with a coffee of 90.96 points — something rare in Brazil —, which revealed the full potential of both our terroir and our farm, and proving that the Alta Mogiana region can present spectacular coffees. According to the jurors' description, that coffee had the following notes: “red fruits, like raspberry and blackberry, yellow fruits, like mango and apricot, bubbly and refreshing acidity, lactic acidity, creamy, soft, elegant, with a liqueur-like viscous body, notes of Malbec wine, white chocolate, lemon tart, plum, raisin, honey, watermelon, pequi and sugar-apple. Complete."
